Went there a couple of times in the early 70's with paper pulp from Norway whilst working with Robertson's of Glasgow. Nice wee Port.

That was a regular on 'Tourmaline" and pulp from Norway. I was on vacation when it ran up on the beach when the mate on watch fell asleep. Caused quite a stir as it managed to oo the sady part right beside the road.

OK Gordon I confess. The signature you could not read was me.
I sailed as master on her from March 1973 until July 1975 with time off on vacation.
